Chapter 805: It's Gonna Blow
I wasn't sure how long Levianne needed to deal with the Off-Worlder but it has been three days after that incident.
Nothing much happened in the past two days and everything went on as normal.
I guess the only 'highlight' I had was that Aeta actually came to apologise to me and paid me back for the meal she had promised to pay for but ended up running away from.
Delmare was obviously a little disappointed to learn that Aeta did apologise to me since it meant that she couldn't ruin her business afterwards but I felt that was the best outcome anyway.
It might have been a form of ironic justice for our side but I think it would have invited more trouble than it's worth.
Still, I let her hold a private concert for me that night before I slept with her which seemed to satisfy her.
The other 'interesting' thing was that Haddock and his gang of followers were glaring at me throughout the whole lesson yesterday.
I guess they were still holding a grudge against me for what they perceived as making Odeta stand up for me and kicking their asses or something.
At least they stayed away from us so nothing happened.
Right now, I'm attending Lisa's class again and Bracca's absence was something that everyone noticed.
A few of my classmates looked in my direction, correctly assuming that I had something to do with his absence but I wasn't going to deny or affirm that.
Thus, I pretended I was busy with my potions and ignored them.
Lisa helped me out by smacking the ones who hadn't been paying attention on their heads, prompting everyone else to turn back to concentrate on their alchemy stations instead of looking at me lest they get smacked as well.
Lisa then came over to me and I could sense her standing behind me while I was making my potion.
I wasn't too worried about her and simply focused on my work, finishing up the last batch of potions that we were tasked to do this lesson.
I then felt Lisa take a step forward to hug me from behind, her breath in my ear while her hands roamed around my body.
One of her hands squeezed my boob while the other one snaked underneath my skirt to rub my crotch.
"Ahhhn~ I missed this, Aster~" She moaned in my ear.
I managed to stop myself from rolling my eyes, "Really? We literally just had sex last night..."
"But doing this at the back of the class makes it feel immoral and exciting, don't you think?"
I will have to admit that it does feel that way but I wasn't going to say it out loud.
"So what are you doing back here?" I asked, trying to ignore the fact that Lisa was still busy groping me.
"Ehehehe~ Can't I just be here because I missed you?"
"Lisa, I love you enough to know that the way you're touching me means that there's something that you want from me. If you really just wanted to touch me, you would do it differently."
"Oh~ That's hot, Aster. Ehehehe~"
She tried to unlock it and her frown deepened when she realised that no matter what she did, the door remained stuck.
Lisa turned back to look at me, worry clear in her eyes.
I was just about to try breaking down the door when I heard one of my classmates mutter, "What's this?"
I turned back and saw a boy holding something that I have seen before in games, movies and videos but never in real life.
That's a bomb...
More specifically, it was a plastic explosive... With a time detonator...
What the hell?!
"Where did you find that?!" I cried out, a little louder than I intended.
The boy jumped a little in surprise and pointed at the desk that Bracca used to occupy, "I... I heard a weird noise coming from there... Should I not have touched it?"
I took the bomb from him before rushing towards the desk. Sure enough, there was a faint beeping sound that came from the timer that was attached to the bomb.
I pulled out the drawers and sure enough, there were even more bombs inside and it seemed like the whole table was filled with them.
For some reason, all of them were set to blow up at different timings and the one in my hand was set to blow up in two minutes. Another one inside the table had a timer that read three minutes and the one beside it read a minute and fifty seconds.
There was not even a need to guess who was responsible for this since the culprit was obvious to me. That leader of the cult was definitely the one behind this.
"What is that thing, Aster?" Lisa asked in concern.
I hesitated for a moment, wondering if I should just tell her as it might start a panic amongst my classmates.
Deciding it was better to be safe, I gestured her over and whispered into her ear that these were bombs.
Her eyes widened and she looked towards the rest of my classmates before turning back to me, "Can you deal with this?"
I thought for a second and nodded.
Lisa immediately turned to my classmates, "Everyone, move to the back of the classroom! Bracca has left some really dangerous materials that he didn't dispose of properly! Aster and I will deal with this before they blow up! Hurry!!"
Oh, nice thinking, Lisa!
My classmates panicked a little but most of them still managed to remain calm as they did as Lisa ordered, all of them gathering at the back of the class.
Just to be safe, I used my Lumenmancy to create a giant shield of light around my classmates which served as an extra layer of protection while also serving as a wall to hide what I was about to do from them.
I quickly summoned my Shadow Guards and instructed them to search through the entire class to look for more bombs, just in case that bastard planted more of them elsewhere.
As for the bombs in Bracca's table... I just needed to cover the table with a magic shield and let them blow up inside the shield and that should be fine.
Here goes nothing!
